90 4runner Front Axle Replacement

Hi guys,
do any of you know of a site that has detailed instructions for replacing the front axle on a 90 4runner 3.0 auto 4x4. My Chiltons says it should be done by a pro, or it could end up being "noisy and expensive", but it doesn't seem too complicated.
Are there any issues I should be aware of before starting this project?
Thanks!!!

Yeah, this one.

Do a search for CV joint, and you'll have plenty of info. It's not difficult at all.

Thanks!
So there are no alignment issues I need to worry about? Just put it back together the way I found it?

Exactly.

The big thing to watch is not compress/extend the new CV joint much.

Another site with an amazing wealth of info is www.4crawler.com
